[thechat] Protest counts from around the world

[ShugMiller]

I was at the Glasgow Rally and there is no way the low count - currently
reported on http://news.bbc.co.uk/ as 25,000 was accurate - I nipped in
for a pint at one point, emerged from the bar a half later and simply
rejoined the march.

Liars that they are.

according to the police, who may have been counting people who left the
starting point of the marches, rather than those who arrived at the
rally
at the end

97,000
